We ordered and received silver satin cables with a USR MP/8 we bought to
go with a portmaster. They work great.

We also were able to get 3' heavy duty db25m-db25m cables from cables-to-go
for $2-3 dollars each. They are much easier to manage then 6' ones. We
use them for all the individual modems. This is probably simpler and
cheaper than DIY rj-45<-->db25m cables.
